𐍃𐍅𐌹𐌺𐌽𐌴𐌹𐌽𐍃

Gothic

Etymology

From *𐍃𐍅𐌹𐌺𐌽𐌾𐌰𐌽 (*swiknjan) +‎ -𐌴𐌹𐌽𐍃 (-eins). It should be noted that each of the apparent attestations of this word (all in the accusative singular) could also be forms of 𐍃𐍅𐌹𐌺𐌽𐌴𐌹 (swiknei, “purity”), which is attested unambiguously elsewhere (in the nominative singular) and is thus confirmed to exist. However, at least the three attestations in the Skeireins fragments do seem in their context to be meant to be interpreted as purification rather than purity, which would point to the existence of this word as separate from the aforementioned 𐍃𐍅𐌹𐌺𐌽𐌴𐌹 (swiknei).

Noun
